About

Our documentaries share privileged insights into people's lives. With emotional depth and cinematic craft, our goal is to find the essence of each story. Grounded in trust and kindness in the filmmaking, we prioritise contributors' experience during the process, while pursuing bold creative visions.

We develop original, independent documentaries and work with agencies, brands, charities and a range of commissioners who share our passion for authentic storytelling. From issues of indigenous land rights, to insect conservation, to inspiring personal portraits, our work tells stories to foster hope and shift perspectives: revealing the connections between us, cultivating transformative narratives, and celebrating the wonder of the living world.
